    They were more athletic and aggressive than us on offense and defense, which is scary because that's the kind of advantage that's easy to sustain over a 7 game series.

    i mean if BOS or TOR were to get the injury bug like HOU, then MIL is not beating GS or HOU (even without CP3)

    That's the part of the loss that sucks the most for me. I was fully prepared for Harden to come in and steamroll Giannis and take the W, but the urgency was not there for us through 3 quarters. I didn't sense any determination from Harden to make his only MVP rival look silly. Oh well :(

    Our main problem on the court was turnovers . I trust harden and Paul to be able to limit that severely over a 7 game series .

    We lost that game because MDA got owned

    MDA gets too much credit. He was already MVP with Mchale and wasn’t even in his prime yet. We also had players like DMo, Tjones, brewer and josh smith as main rotational players with Mchale

    We lost because harden wasnt willing to use the floater and midrange in the 3rd and until the end of the 4th, and would rather use turnovers ...bucks were begging him to use the floater in the 1st as well...

    i was not happy with tonite's rotations or timeouts or pace in the 2nd half (our guys clearly slowed it down which really hurt us). but at the same time look at what pringles has to work with vs bud on the other side. i mean our roster is a ragtag gang of journeymen. wtf has morey been doing for the past 3 weeks while cp3's been out and then the past 10 days while gordon's been out? tonite worrell said 3 more weeks for cp3 and several more games for gordon. how can the GM expect this roster to compete over such a long stretch? it's just insane

    We won't beat anybody with 18 turnovers. Man, they swarmed Clint at the rim tonight.

    The hilight for me was watching Clint hit 10-12 free throws. I think he has finally learned how!!!! Woooohoooo!!!!

    Dang, James got cold cocked tonight. That ball slung into his face is gonna leave a mark. Ouch!

    Imagine if it was the other way around and we had that young talent the Bucks had alongside Harden.

    Toronto beat them handily on their court without Lowry. With Kawhi AND Lowry they have NO CHANCE.

    The Bucks look legit to me. At one point, the Rockets had an almost ten point lead, and the Bucks went on a colossal run. It was pretty much over after that. The Bucks look to have more young athletic talent. With CP3 and Gordan at full capacity, would have likely been a W. Whatever.

    I was referring to the recent Raptors/Bucks game in Milwaukee.
